What we are offering is some of the very scarcest of both types, mainly from Speyside, but also from Islay, as well as a smattering from elsewhere in the Highlands, from the Lowlands and from Campbeltown. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whiskies we feature here are past winners from distilleries which are currently in production. The selection is based on personal preferences and our assessment of the individual whisky’s whole of quality, its investment value and potential collectable worth.  To some extent it is a self-selective process in terms of Ardbeg, Bowmore, Glenfarclas, Glen Grant, Glenlivet, Lagavulin. Laphroaig, Macallan, Springbank, Talisker and the like. But there are also some surprises. Collectively, they present a rare opportunity to acquire some fine, but scarcely seen expressions from distilleries whose eminence requires no justification here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe make no judgement as to taste etc. and simply provide the tasting and other notes of the distillery\/bottler or, occasionally, qualified third parties, where these are available. After all, the former have made huge efforts to get this right and we see no reason to try and second-guess them! However, we provide as much relevant information as we can for each expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distillery images are based on the drawings by Peter Haillay which appeared in “The Whisky Distilleries of Scotland and Ireland” by Philip Morrice, published in 1987.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"glenfiddich-excellence-18-years-old","title":"Glenfiddich Excellence 18 Years Old","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e43% ABV\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eGlenfiddich created in 1992 a special 18 year old to recognise the 18 direct descendants who have worked in the company since William Grant built the Glenfiddich Distillery over 100 years ago.

Heavy notes of rum-soaked raisins, figs, old rancio (huge!) and orange and herbs liqueur (like that famous Dantziger Goldwasser).
